OSX 10.4 e-mail why can I not send?

Hi

I am assuming that I cannot send emails from my .mac account any more because my os is too old!!!!! Again!!!! I'm using an eMac (6 years old) and 10.4.11. Is it because iCloud does not support such old technology? i've been in Germany working all summer and it has been a real pain since 30th June when MobileMe discontinued. That should not mean that my e-mail account no longer works.....or does it?

I would appreciate the time if someone could answer me. Cheers

Joanna

eMac 10.4.2-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Firstly, did you migrate you MobileMe account to iCloud (at http://me.com/move) before 1 August?

If you did migrate your account you can set Mail up manually to access the iCloud server:

Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

You can also access your mail at http://icloud.com by signing in with your mac.com/me.com address and your MobileMe password.

However if you did not migrate your account its contents have been deleted: you can reactivate the @me.com address (but not the @mac.com version) but you cannot do this on Tiger - you would need access to a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac or an iOS5 ddevice.
